Costco has plenty of deals that members rave about — from the beloved $4.99 rotisserie chickens and $1.50 hot dogs to those giant Costco sheet cakes and bargain wines. In addition to affordable prices and bulk items the member warehouse also offers a number of lesser-known perks including discounts on a variety of services. One of these is Primo Water’s bottled water delivery program. While most members are familiar with Costco’s Kirkland brand of bottled water this service is for 3- and 5-gallon bottles for use in water dispensers.

The Costco Membership Benefit No One Knows About

Water dispensers or coolers provide easy access to clean tasty drinking water so you and your family or coworkers can stay hydrated. They’re also a more sustainable option since a single 5-gallon jug is the equivalent of 38 16.9-ounce single-use plastic water bottles. Primo Water offers bottles and dispensers for home and office use and according to Costco’s website warehouse members get “exclusive pricing on spring and purified water in 5-gallon bottles plus alkaline water in 3-gallon bottles” purchased through Primo Water.

To take advantage of Primo Water’s discounted pricing for Costco members customers can choose between alkaline spring water or purified water select a water dispenser (rentals available) and have it delivered to their home or workplace. Members can then leave their used bottles outside their home and a delivery person will pick up the empty bottles. Users can manage their order and delivery schedule through an app. Bottles can also be returned to redemption stations at more than 13000 locations where you’ll then receive a ticket to save money when you buy a bottle directly from the store. You can also fill your bottle at Primo refill stations.

Costco Executive and Gold Star members can currently purchase 5-gallon bottles starting at $7.49. A bottom-load hot and cold water dispenser (which is easier to handle than a top-load dispenser) costs $3.99 per billing period for Executive members and $5.99 per billing period for Gold Star members. A combination water dispenser-coffee maker is also available to Executive members for $9.99 per billing period and to Gold Star members for $11.99 per billing period.
